Yeur Committee having in the most careful manner inspected the

land seven Books of blank Bills in order to renew & make good the
torn and defaced Bills which Books appear to be perfect, but are not
yet examined by the Comm^rs and are said to amount to three thou-
sand four hundred thirty seven pounds ten shillings
They likewise find it necessary for the Ease and Dispatch of Com-
mittees hereafter to be appointed for this Purpose, as well as the
Comm^rs themselves, that a Particular Account be kept of the Profit

Trustees are willing to perform

transmitted to the Justices of the several Counties, than was de-
manded from them by the Inhabitants for the Taxables in the said
Counties, yet there has not been any Money returned by the said
Justices
